Amazon Verified Purchase
The features I was most looking forward to were:
1. The use of their POD software on the iPad.
2. Two inputs. One for guitar and one line level input.
When the item arrived, I immediately plugged it into the iPad and noticed that it doesn't really fit really secure. This is a fairly large device and it seems to barely hang into the iPad slot. The second thing I noticed was when I opened the Line 6 POD software that comes free for the iPad, although the sounds were alright (very digital), the latency wasn't too bad in their software but I noticed a lack of input gain control. Some of the dirty sounds didn't push enough. I also own the Apogee Jam and that unit had the ability to control the gain going into the iPad which is nice if your pickups are weaker. So altogether, I wasn't entirely happy with the sounds coming out of Line 6's POD app, so that kind of defeated 1/2 of my purpose for purchase.
Also, the Line 6 app doesn't allow recording or jamming with itunes songs or anything, so unless you only want to use it to jam live, or for practice, all the sounds are not going to do too much else for you.
Latency:
This was the biggest reason for returning the unit. Other than using Line 6's app, Jam Pro, AmpKit Plus and Garage Band all seem to have pretty slow latency. That in combination with the lower input levels made it sub par to the Apogee Jam in comparison.
So, in summary the unit is fine and it does work for all the apps that I tried it with. It does come with two inputs but the lack of volume control and the latency issues prevented me from keeping it. Especially in comparison to the Apogee Jam.
One final note: The Apogee Jam seems to have a more midrange punch designed for guitar. The Line 6 had a more midrange scoop for use on vocals or keys. If you are looking for a unit to record keys and or to use with a mic, the line 6 might be nice. Again, you'd need a preamp to control the input level however. This would entail carrying more gear. I was after a simple solution to bring just my iPad and my guitar.
Hope this review helps someone.
Also, I wish Line 6 would allow us to purchase a version of their app for people without the hardware. I would definitely consider purchasing it for live performance or practice as it did offer a large variety of sounds. Line 6 is leaving cash on the table in my opinion.

The sound quality achievable by using the Mobile In and similar guitar adapters that use the dock connector is top notch. You don't have the feedback and noise problems common with adapters that use the headphone line in jack. The Line 6 app is great, too. Lots of amps, cabs, and stomp boxes to play around with and tweak.
Unfortunately, the unit itself has two problems. There is no way to keep your iPhone or iPad charged since the Mobile In uses the dock and they didn't put a connector for a charger on the unit. If you've seen the Apple Digital AV Adapter, you'll know what I mean.
It's also difficult to plug the unit into the dock if you use a case with any reasonable thickness on the dock end. I wish they had made the Mobile In with a pig tail dock connector instead of flush with the unit.

I am a long time fan of line 6 and was eager to try this device with my ipad 2. The sound is really great. Unfortuantely, as the prior reviewer noted, the interface plug in design is awkward and will not stay plugged into an ipad 2, even if you remove the case. This is because the side of the ipad 2 is beveled and the Mobil In plug does not sit flush with the iPad 2. Hoplefully Line 6 will address this issue. I'm afraid I'll have to send this one back.
